                 About Me
 
Pioneer Primitives is my home-based business, and I am the designer, webmaster, shipping department, customer service department, product creator, and dyer.  I also have a wonderful husband and 5 beautiful children; as well as 17 piano students.  I am busy! 

I discovered rug hooking in 2004, and I quickly discovered that there were no suppliers in Utah, and the craft stores that carried minimal supplies were unreliable as far as stocking went.  So I decided to start a small business and here we are.

I have been teaching beginning rug hooking and punch needle locally for several years,  I have even appeared on a local news magazine show, Studio 5, where I demonstrated punch needle embroidery.  I also supply my own hand dyed wool to local quilt and fiber stores. 

In 2007, I was reading on the online rug hooking groups about how members were going to hook-ins and rug camps, and I wanted to go!  But they were all too far for me to travel and be away from my young family for so long.  So I decided to host a hook-in myself just so I could go to one.  It was a great success and turned into an annual event.  I am very excited because it has even evolved into a full fledged guild of rug hookers in Utah called the Utah Rug and Fiber Guild.  We just hosted our first retreat and are looking forward to having a national teacher come in the next year or two.  I am currently serving as the Communications Director for our guild.

Welcome to my website and please don't hesitate to email me with special requests or questions!  I look forward to serving you.
